Mangrove Residences Mactan

Everything is great, everything you need is nearby, very clean and quiet, and as always in the Philippines, the staff is polite, there is one minus but not critical, these are old air conditioners

It's a new hotel, so it's good considering the price. The noise from the air conditioner is unavoidable. Good location. Good staff service. It's fine if you just want to stay. However, the only amenity available is an all-in-one shampoo.

I stayed here because I wanted to prepare a place to sleep near Mactan Airport before catching a late-night flight. It was a newly built hotel, so I felt that the cleanliness of the building and the room itself was fine for the price, but it only looked clean, and was not actually very clean. When I lay down on the bed, there were hard spots on the blanket like drool had dried, and there were spider webs on the shower in the bathroom, so I think the cleanliness is in the bad category. I was only there to take a short nap, so I was able to bear it, but I felt that I could not stay overnight. In addition to the lack of cleanliness mentioned above, the other reasons I felt that I could not stay overnight were: ● The only amenities were shampoo and body soap. ● There was no toothbrush or slippers. ● There was no hair dryer, so I called the front desk to bring one. ● The air conditioner was a simple, noisy one I had never seen before, and it was too effective and cold. Next time I stay at a hotel just for a short nap, I think I'll go to the spa on Mactan Island. Apparently there was a place where I could get a massage and take a nap, and they also provided free transportation to the airport, so I regretted not choosing that option.

My flight was cancelled so I made a reservation on the day and stayed there. The service was good, but the lack of amenities such as toothbrushes and the difficulty in adjusting the water pressure and temperature of the shower were some of the issues.
